Oaxacan Wood Carving Eleazar Morales Owl Bird Oaxaca Mexican Folk Art Alebrije
AWESOME OWL IN FLIGHT OAXACA WOOD CARVING BY THE AMAZING ARTIST ELEAZAR MORALES. BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF AMAZING DETAIL IN THE MUSEUM QUALITY CARVING! ALL AROUND FINE WORK! Eleazar Morales has already achieved the status of a master in wood carving… His true genius of talent is just awe inspiring. Eleazar’s work is quite distinctive among the carvers, and the rest of his well known family. He began carving at the young age of 14, and furthered his artistic development by studying the work of his world famous neighbor Manuel Jimenez. When Manuel Jimenez would discard a woodcarving that did not suite him, Eleazar would study the scraps left behind to further his knowledge of the art of wood carving. Eleazar has certainly come a long way from such a humble beginning, and now his work is shown in galleries around the world. His work is very fine in both the carving detail and the incredible realistic painting done with a very steady and precise hand. We just love the sense of movement in much of his work, and how the painting really reflects the nature of the animal. Eleazar Morales is one of our personal favorites, and we are so excited to be able to share his work with you! This is one spectacular owl! The carving of the outstretched wings in just amazing, and add that incredible sense of movement that is so hard for a carver to achieve. We love the painting technique that closely resembles the bird’s feathers, and the graphic nature of the combination of white, black, yellow and gray colors. The owl was signed by the artist, and there are no removable parts. Approximate Measurements: 8 1/4″ high x 4 3/4″ wide x 3 1/4 deep.
